6. We take all other transactions in America seriously - but not voting.

I can swipe / insert my card to buy a 50 cent donut and be assured that the translation is not only secure & encrypted but can also stand up to an audit.

In many states the voting tallies from touchscreen systems are aggregated in a Microsoft Access database with no security, no audit trail and no way to prove if the tallies are valid or have been tampered with. Interestingly, those tend to be Red states.

Until we outlaw that sort of cheating (along with voter suppression efforts) we will continue to see strange election results where amazingly few traditionally Democrat demographics show up to vote.
